International Day of Yoga celebrated in no less than seven cities this year
Nyhavn has never looked this spiritual before! (all photos: Indian Embassy, unless stated)
The 8th International Day of Yoga (#IDY2022) was celebrated in multiple cities on June 21. They included Copenhagen, Aalborg, Aarhus, Vejle, Vedbæk, Birkerød and Sønderborg.
Local yoga groups and the Indian diaspora teamed up for a great many events overseen by the Indian Embassy at iconic locations such as Copenhagen’s Nyhavn and Rådhuspladen, as well as Frederiksberg Have. Where the Indian ambassador Pooja Kapur, who led from the front at almost every event held in the capital, gets her energy from is a mystery … to be fair, it’s probably yoga!
Bouncing back from the pandemic, this was the biggest celebration of the International Day of Yoga yet held in Denmark – and it was even celebrated in Greenland.
A remarkable demonstration!

The DI yoga session looked intense!
